Harris County Department of Education (HCDE), in conjunction with its cooperative purchasing division Choice Partners (CP), is issuing a Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) for Modular Buildings and Related Items through a Job Order Contracting (JOC) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) procurement. This solicitation consists of two mandatory components: a maintenance component procured under Texas Education Code Section 44.031 and a job order contracting component procured under Texas Government Code Chapter 2269, with vendors required to respond to both components to be considered responsive. Vendors must provide pricing based on coefficients applied to approved Unit Price Books (including BNi publications, eConverge TruePriceData, RS Means, Sierra West Publishing, and Xactimate), adjusted by City Cost Index, along with hourly labor rates and materials pricing for the maintenance component. Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: pricing (40 points), vendor reputation and work history (20 points), quality of goods/services and project management capability (25 points), safety record (5 points), financial capability (5 points), and marketing plan (5 points), with a minimum score of 70 required for award consideration. The initial contract term is one year with automatic renewal options for up to three additional one-year periods, plus an optional 90-day transitional period, with either party able to decline renewal by providing 30 days' written notice. Key deadlines include a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting and Unit Price Book training on May 20, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Central Time, respectively; questions must be submitted by June 9, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. CT; proposals are due June 16, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. CT via the HCDE eBid system; and the tentative award date is August 19, 2026.

The solicitation document does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to disadvantaged enterprises or specific organization types, indicating this is an open competitive procurement. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. Vendors must maintain current licenses for Unit Price Books at their own expense and make copies available to CP members upon request, while HCDE will invoice vendors for a 2 percent administrative fee based on total sales. The maximum annual aggregate contract price for all contracts awarded under this CSP across the entire CP cooperative program is $200 million. All pricing must be firm and fixed, with cost-plus-percentage pricing structures prohibited when federal funds are used. HCDE and CP intend to comply with federal EDGAR requirements and conduct independent cost or price analysis for all procurements.
